UPPER HEYFORD Memorial Web Site GUEST BOOK ARCHIVE 2009 www.raf-upper-heyford.org
Your Entry: It has been a year since I checked out this site, and for good reason! What a sad / beautiful / awesome / memorable trip it is every time! Upper Heyford was my first assignment (88 - 90, SPS) and very few times in my life have meant so much. It is no coincidence that in most entries people write that Heyford was a positive experience. I've always described my time there as "worked hard, played hard" and others say the same thing! I'm thankful I took so many pictures of the Base (and England, and Europe, and friends!) to rekindle fond memories and relive those times every now and then. Always thought I'd revisit the Base, retrace my footsteps, maybe show my Sons where I worked and lived, but I can't. UH is on this incredible website, these heartfelt entries of those who served and grew up there, and in our hearts. Pretty deep, I know.. two of the best years of my life. Doing what I loved. Making friends. Roar of engines. War games. Autumn Tiger. Paintball. Oxford. Edinburgh. Humvees. Dorm parties. Looking for Diefendorf from Florida and any "E" or "C" flight SPS from 88 - 90. (Oglesby already found me!!) ...TC

Wednesday 10/28/2009 4:35:12am Name: Delmos L. “FLIP" Burks
E-Mail: [email protected] City/Country: Merrillville, Indiana U.S.A. Your Entry: Hello to all my Heyfordian friends. I was stationed on the "ROCK" from Dec. 1968 to June 1972. I was in the 66th, and 20th. Tactical Squadron Supply Unit. "IF WE DID'NT HAVE IT, YOU DID'NT NEED IT". I was a "POOL" runner. What means is I went to Liverpool, every chance I got. I hung out with the likes of, Douglas "DOUG" Watson, Algernon "TONY" Ingram, "PEE WEE" Gorum, A.K. "JINX" Freeman, Dennis "DENNIE" Piszko, The "TWINS" of Boston, John "RAZOR" Gillette, "SWEET WILL", "DIZZY", and the list goes on, and on. One of my fondest memories, is sitting in my Ton and a Half truck, watching those "BIRDS" take off at night, and seeing those afterburners kick in. One of my saddest was haveing to be on detail to pick up the pieces of one of those "BIRD", after the pilot averted hitting a small vllage in time, but not in time enough to save his own life. I met some of the best people, in the world on Upper Heyford. If any one remembers Jesus Romero, I think he was from Detroit. Your Brother Always Delmos "FLIP" Burks
Friday 10/23/2009 8:55:14pm Name: Ed Pearce
E-Mail: [email protected] City/Country: Bracketville, Texas, USA Your Entry: I was a pilot in the 79th TFS from 1978 to 1980. It was a "fighter" squadron in every sense of the word...look up 'work hard, play hard' in google and you should see a photo of the 79th. While I was there, our squadron lost a number of F-111E's, and several good friends of mine lost their lives. Captains Randy Gaspard and Bert Slusher died when their aircraft hit the water on the bombing range at "the Wash." Captains Rick Hetzner and Ray Spaulding were killed one week later while flying TF (terrain following) in Scotland. Four funerals in a seven day period were a lot for a group to take, so we reacted the only way we could. We had one hell of a party.

Wednesday 09/23/2009 12:14:49am Name: Jerry Nicholas
E-Mail: [email protected] City/Country: Indialantic, FL USA Your Entry: My father, then Major Justin D. Nicholas, was stationed at Upper Heyford from September 1960 through June 1964. I am one of his four dependent children who attended grades 7-9 on base, then went to Lakenheath for 10th grade. We lived in base housing at 5 Larson Road.
I am in a position to return to the UK in the next month or so (before it gets cold). I want to make a trip to the old Upper Heyford base. In my dreams I want to walk freely though the housing area and the other places where childhood memories were formed. I am partially aware of the fenced off areas.
My question is: Does anyone know whom I should contact to facilitate such a visit? I would like to go into our old house. I would like to trace my steps to the snack bar (gone now?), or Officer's Club barber shop, or the "new" theater opened in about 1962. We attended Saturday night dances at the AYA, my first job was as a bag boy at the commissary. So many memories. So how do I make this happen? Can anyone help? Thank you. Jerry Nicholas

My views are that all of the small collections at bentwaters, bruntingthorpe, hendon, cosford & duxford could be brought together at upper heyford creating a unique living airbase museum creating jobs & leaving a really great legacy to the USAF who have kept us safe during the cold war. can you please organise your members & anyone still within the USAF to help me before this oppotunity is lost forever. We have so little time left to act. i want to form or be part of a group to save this base. please help me. regards, steve

Ya' know, in spite of my COPD and that I am pushing 70, if someone said to me "Hey Squatswitch, ya wanna do it again?" there would be only one answer: "Hell Yes!"
The people were out of this world. The jets were demanding. And we were always challenging ourselves. When it really counted we would best our old record.
A very close friend of mine who was stationed at Brand Y (48 TFW) and I do a lot of rehashing of the "old days". Stories get bent a little but it sure keeps alive the memories. What a time!
Take care Duane!

Your Entry: Hello, I worked on the F1-II for 9 years at British Aerospace, Filton, Bristol. We carried out planned depot maintenance on both E and F models. I have to say I loved the aircraft, the times, etc. For us to receive the aircraft, strip it to bare bones, rebuild, function and dispatch was great. We worked on live aircraft intead of fabricating aircraft sections.
Today I was in Oxford and decided to take a nostalgic trip to UH as we often worked at UH on various tasks. To be honest I was really disappointed as the base is covered in automobiles, literally thousands of them. The Renault motor car company had an event there probably racing around the perimeter track!
Reference your feature on restoration. We worked on 68-009, twice I believe. I wish the restoration team every success in bringing the ole girl back to glory and if I ever get to Texas I will visit Meacham Airport to see how the resoration is going. I will also see if I can find some photos of 68-009 in our technical library. If so I will email them through to the project team.
Good luck,
Andy.
